The new house

Well, My sister just moved into a new house, which is actually a victorian house that was "modernized" in the 1960's/1970's... and my Mom just inherited a victorian farm house that isn't too bad, but we have the huge task of going through all of the house and clearing out old paperwork/magazines/etc.. I will be definitely taking pictures of both homes before and after as the transformations take place.

My sister's house has many walls that will be knocked down, and some of the paint/designs are quite scary...

My mom's new house, the basement is MARBLE! Who the hell has a marble basement??? Well, not entirely marble, but I'm guessing that the previous owner's (I'm not mentioning names yet)father was a contracter many many many years ago, and must have gotten extra marble somewhere and used it as the floor and part of the wall. You can see where he must have been too sick to finish as the stuff to stick the marble slabs to is on one spot, but the marble to be put there is laid nicely against the wall. The rest of the basement has a coal shoot, and doors that we dont' really know where they come out at. Its a cool house, and I will have to definitely post on that one as time goes on.

Had to face up to it

Yes, today I finally realized that I had....... a mustache. I always thought John was teasing me, but this morning as I'm washing my face and putting my makeup on, I noticed a lot of fine hair around my lip. I had a ladystache.

I tell ya, nothing make you feel old as much as facial hair. I really felt that if I didn't do something about it, people were going to start to look at me and run in fear ! Or, that I'd come home one day and this would be on my door, as a sign to all.


So like any freaked out woman, I bought some of this stuff ....



and it is much better. phew.

Finally have an up-to-date phone!

Yes... I finally got a real cell phone. My old Nokia, kept dialing people on its own whilst in my purse! My purse has dialed friends, family, random number, 911 (and they called me back too), and has connected me to the internet more than I care to think about.

So, I got my pink razor phone. I couldn't get my "Sanford and Son" ringtone, but I have "Down Under" as my normal ring, and "Bad Day" for my mom... It totally suits her! So, now I have a new toy, plus the bluetooth headset - since I love to gab on the way to and from work. I swear by my hands free! To make things even sweeter.. I even got a 15% discount for work, and I got it for a lot lower than I thought.

So, if you are reading this, and you know that I had your number, please either call, or text my cell so I can re-add you to my phone list! The bright girl that I am, I didn't write a single number down.

will resize pics...

I just saw how HUGE the pictures are in my last post... I will resize later today! Happy Monday.

Some Random Photos

Well, since its been a while since I've truly posted, I thought I throw some piccies in. Our recent drama here has been the illness of Winston, our little black and white cat. He decided to eat a fabric covered button that was green with lots of thread

Needless to say that after 1138.00 in vet bills, here's our Winston..



He milked his illness too. He knew that John would be totally suckered into it..




On a new topic... here's Johns garden in the UK... I am having UK withdrawl and really wish we could be there. I'm a bit envious of Bruce and Tam for moving back to England.





And finally, probably the best pic ever taken of me... and of course, look what I have in my mouth! Bruce took this one last night at our get together at Marls and Stu's house. We had a nice relaxing day, until Marlene pulled out the teeth! It was great to see Auds, Gareth, Gaby, Bruce, Tam, Josh, and our hosts.. Marlene and Stu. Its ashame that Joanne and Tony couldn't be there too. We missed them.

Yeah, yeah...

I know, I know.. been a long long time. So, before I fall asleep I'll do a quickie post. Yes, I did get the chocolate, about 3 days after that idiot guy drove off. What made me mad was that a few days later when we went to World Market, they had the same thing for a few dollars cheaper.

Alright, more tomorrow when I can get my head back together! More importantly.... Liverpool beat Chelsea today.
